Topic: RE: Feeling Defeated and Not Motivated

There are many people suffering various forms of depression these day, so you are definitely not alone. It's a great reflection on you that you recognize there's an issue and have reached out for help. The advise above about talking to your doctor right away seems to make the most sense.

Good luck and know you're not alone.

Topic: RE: 5 year weight proof history

I doubt many people have 5 years of valid history documented. Nevertheless the best route forward is to find a great doctor and let his staff work it out with insurance bureaucrats. They have the experience and know which buttons to push.

I agree with Citizen Kim! I have clinical depression and I was feeling just like you are. It took me a year to realize that the antidepressant I had been taking for 17 years had stopped working! It took another year for my doctor and I trying other medications and dosages to find the right one. Now I am feeling almost back to normal. Please see you doctor about this ASAP!! And I hope you're feeling better soon!

I agree that you need to see your physician ASAP. There is help for you and no need to suffer like this.

Do you have a psychiatrist because this sounds like clinical depression which requires medication? If you already take medication, it may well need adjusting.

You should ask your surgeon to refer you to a plastic surgeon. Often your WLS doctor works closely with plastic surgeons that they trust.
